for this occasion only.
The banquet occupied the hour
from eleven until twelve o'clock,
and was the best that has ever been
served to so large n number OF
guests in this city. Two tables ex-
tending the full length of the rink
were artistically set and ornamented
and the viands very judciously ar
ranged to secure equal advantage to
all. The bill of fare was complete,
containing everything that could he
desired from the staple articles of
cooking through excellent pastry
combinations and fruits from the
tropics. We did the supper full
justice on the occasion, but acknowl-
edge our weakness in this place, ex-
cept that we publish the bill com.
plete, which is deemed unnecessary.
Every beneficiary OF the hospitality
of Caterer Walker on that occasion
was outspoken in complimen,ing
the excellence and variety of the
meal, and unreservedly pronounce
it the best ever set before an Audi
bon company. Visiting guests were
equally pleased with the entertain
ment and those from Atlantic an.
thorized the following comment
which is found in the Telegraph:
"The supper was superb one, the
bill OF fare being one of the most
elaborate ever presented at recep-
ton in Western Iowa, and an cx.
ceptionally good time was had 10y
all. A small delegation of Sir
Knights attended from Atlantic, and
they all vie with each other in ex.
tolling the hospitality of their Au-
dubon brethren. Audubon, by the
way, is noted for the royal way in
which she cntertains visitors"
When the supper hour was
nearly over and the demolition of
the viands had been mentally set
down among the tasks impossible of
accomplishment, Capt. Jno. A
Nash was called out for speech.
He adroitly gave the floor to M.
Walker, OF Atlantic, who briefly
complimented the Audubon Divi-
sion, the banquet, and hoped Audi
bon's sons might grow drawer and
her daughters fairer. Mr.. Linder,
also of the Atlantic Division, favored
the company with a sony reciting
the objects OF the order. Then the
company as with one voice called
for M. Nichols, and the voice would
not be s,lled until that legal form
was seen standing erect near the
head of the long table, with tho
second joint of turkey leg in his
hand. His glis.ening eye surveyed
the company, and true to his calling
he raised an objection but did not
cite his authority to the toast OF Mr..
Walker, introducing in his argument
that, should the ladies grow fairer
the men would all go crazy. 1t
was the bricfest and most succinct
argument he has ever made, and we
believe the most efiectual, for as he
resumed his seat sixty pretty pairs of
feminine eyes oglcd him tondly, fe-
male smiles beamed upon the hero
of the evening and button.hole bou.
quets were all about him, while the
brains of the gentlemen fairly
whirled in realization of the dismal
condition prophesied. 1t was
happy hit. Other short speeches
were made Of equally happy import,
and Ed. b. Cousins closed the ban.
quet festivities by wishing the com.
pany happy new year during the
first moment of 1857.
Returning to the hall dancing
continued until o'clock, when the
company dispersed. The enterprise
was not instituted with a purpose of
pecuniary profit, indeed it was con-
fidently expected that knights would
be assessed to make good a deicien-
cy. The supreme object was to pre-
sent social entertainment of rare
merit and enjoyment. That has been
realized, and it is gratifying to state
that about $Io is left in the treasury.
The Rank returns thanks to all who
so kindly aided IN making the ball
and banquet so successful.
